Predeployment of Transponders for Dynamic Lightpath Provisioning in Translucent Spectrally–Spatially Flexible Optical Networks

Applied Sciences, 2020
We consider a dynamic lightpath provisioning problem in translucent spectrally–spatially flexible optical networks (SS-FONs) in which flexible signal regeneration is achieved with transponders operating in back-to-back (B2B) configurations.

Signal Overlap for Elastic Optical Networks

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2016
In Elastic Optical Networks, advanced transmission techniques based on coherent detection strategies have been proposed and exploited to provide high flexibility in resource allocation. So far, these techniques have assumed the constraint of each optical signal being transmitted along a dedicated frequency slot, by carefully avoiding frequency overlap ...

Light‐Responsive Enzyme‐Loaded Nanoparticles for Tunable Adhesion and Mechanical Wound Contraction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a photoactivatable enzyme‐loaded mesoporous nanoparticle system (MPDA_PaTy) that enables light‐triggered tunable tissue adhesion and facilitates mechanical wound contraction. Controlled enzymatic crosslinking at tissue or hydrogel interfaces allows on‐demand adhesion.

Euler buckling in red blood cells: An optically driven biological micromotor

, 2005
We investigate the physics of an optically-driven micromotor of biological origin. A single, live red blood cell, when placed in an optical trap folds into a rod-like shape. If the trapping laser beam is circularly polarized, the folded RBC rotates.
